Netherlands have set up an intriguing Euro 2024 semi-final with England courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Turkey in the quarter-finals of the competition on Saturday night.
England became the third semi-finalist at this summer’s European Championship by beating Switzerland on penalties earlier in the evening, and the Three Lions will take on Ronald Koeman’s side in Wednesday’s final-four battle, as Netherlands recorded a narrow win over Turkey.
Arda Guler set up Samet Akaydin for the first goal of the match in the 35th minute, with a wonderful delivery from the Real Madrid attacker being headed into the back of the net.
However, Stefan de Vrij levelled the scores in the 70th minute with a thumping header before Mert Muldur turned into his own net under pressure from Cody Gakpo to hand Netherlands the win.
Netherlands are semi-finalists for the first time since 2004, and they are chasing their second European Championship title after triumphing in 1988.
Just four teams now remain at Euro 2024, with Spain tackling France in the competition’s first semi-final on Tuesday, before Netherlands lock horns with England one day later.
